Austin Area Sees New Retail Hub, Restaurant Opening, and Grocery Store Closure
What happened
A new mixed-use retail and dining hub, called the Market District, is being built in Leander, which will add 30,000 square feet of retail space focused on local and Asian businesses. Meanwhile, Cuantos Tacos is preparing to open its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Austin after seven years operating as a food truck. Separately, Wheatsville Co-op announced its last day at its Guadalupe Street store will be in October.
